I woke up chronically late even for me, threw on a belting charcoal pinstripe Crombie suit (always the simplest wardrobe choice when in a hurry) and then took on the Siberian conditions and a TfL nightmare on my tube line. I lasted all of 3 hours in the office with my man flu before chucking in the towel and informing Trophy_Wife I'd be working from home for the rest of day. I am now slightly regretting donning that Crombie with 80 quid's worth of matching Crombie tie, as when disappearing for the afternoon in such a manner, I might as well have set my Out of Office to 'At a job interview'. Whoops.
The time at home has however left me to reflect on 3 key reasons to be cheerful in 2010:
- By June we'll have a Tory government in power
- The World Cup begins in June
- By June, I'll definitely have a new job/have been fired and skulked off abroad
